Jazz up a second-hand mug using temporary tattoos, then fill it with your favourite tea, chocolate, etc.

Supplies Needed: Thrifted mug, temporary tattoos, Mod Podge, sponge brush, sponge and water, scissors.

Step 1 Visit your local Salvation Army thrift store for a second-hand mug. You can either grab a plain one or patterned.

Step 2 Source some fun temporary tattoos for your design—hearts and flowers, for instance, or any other designs. 

Step 3 Using a sponge and a small bowl with water, follow the instructions on your temporary tattoos to adhere them to your mug. Usually, you would place them on your dry mug, then use a damp sponge over the tattoo to add it to the surface of your mug.

Step 4 Keep adding tattoos until you’re happy with the design. Then allow to dry.

Step 5 Once dry, you can seal the design with Mod Podge, either matte or gloss. I added two coats of gloss. Allow the Mod Podge to dry.

The final step is to fill the mug with a yummy treat.

Note: Handwash the mug to extend the life of your design.
